1. A banana 26 cm

   The banana you eat is a sterile clone; nearly all exported ones are a single variety called the Cavendish.

   Pins are coated in tough plastic and weigh just enough to scatter dramatically yet stand back up reliably.

   The 737 is the best-selling jet airliner in history, with one taking off somewhere on Earth every few seconds.

   Her copper skin turned green over decades as the metal oxidised; she was originally a shiny reddish-brown.
